Crowns and Bridges

Using the conventional casting production process, a dental technician can currently produce only about 20 dental frames per day. Using e-manufacturing with laser sintering, however, it is possible to produce approximately 450 high-quality units for crowns and bridges within 24 hours. This corresponds to a production speed of approximately three minutes per unit on average. The technological centerpiece of this is the EOSINT M 270 - the only system of its kind that produces cost-effective, high-quality dental prostheses using Direct Metal Laser-Sintering (DMLS) by fusing cobalt chromium powder using a laser. Since operating a DMLS system requires personnel only for loading and unpacking the machine, two production cycles per day can be executed, thus permitting production of up to 80,000 units per year.. This makes laser sintering a true industrial process in which high productivity at a reduced cost is accompanied by consistent quality standards.

Advantages

• A DMLS system produces approximately 80,000 units per year
• More cost-effective than conventional precision casting
• Consistent tolerances and fit
• High precision of prostheses and reproducibility of production properties
• Certified powder material and laser parameters for the validated production of medical products
